    Summary

    In the aftermath of God Games, Athena has a lot of recovery to do. Without any divine intervention of her own, her wounds will take years to heal. Coping with new physical limitations leads to many emotional revelations as she comes to terms with what her life has become.

    What is a goddess of wisdom who can't trust her own judgement?
    What is a master of war who can't fight?
    What is the point of being Zeus's favorite if it doesn't spare her from his wrath.

    Join me for two months of angst as I complete prompts for both Whumpuary and Febuwhump.

    Summary

    The Olympians, as gods, have never had reason to question the status and powers within that provide them with immortality. Their mere existence allows them to witness the passage of time without the fear of what exists beyond.

    But, as Athena lay at her father's feet, her divine blood pouring from the wounds she sustained by his hand, she must face that which no other god has faced before: a loss of immortality. At the edge may be her looming death, staved off only by the strength of her will. Even that is beginning to fade.

    Summary

    “And lastly the wind bag - we went through so much to get this.”

     

    When Poseidon realizes that Hermes is the reason for Odysseus' success after leaving Ogygia, he takes matter into his own hands. Apollo, meanwhile, is desperately tired of his siblings angering their elders.

    At least Athena is made for war. When Hermes is unable to withstand Poseidon's wrath, he'll need a little divine intervention or two of his own.

    Summary

    Hermes’ form began to glow a sickly orange, radiating in waves as a pair of ram horns sprouted alongside the wings on his head. Odysseus watched with morbid curiosity as the rest of Hermes' body darkened, creating the illusion of a void besides the luminescent glow of his eyes and wings. His mouth seemed to glow with each word he spoke, but Odysseus couldn’t be sure as the deity took another step away from him and towards the goddess that haunted his life for seven years.

    “I have been patient, daughter of Pleione, but you have tested me. I came here with no intention of creating conflict, but you have given me NO choice!”

    Or

    What if Calypso was not so willing to let Odysseus go?

    Summary

    Sing, o muse, of the guile of Athena, bright-eyed, triple-born, winner of the game,
    sing of the wrath of Zeus, warlike, king of the Gods, of the flashing bolt, keeper of oaths,
    and sing of Odysseus, shifty, man of many ways and of many sorrows; keeper of bright-eyed Athena.
    -
    -
    -
    Athena played Zeus' game and won. But the king of the Gods doesn't take kindly to losing. While it's true that Goddesses can't die, that doesn't mean they can't suffer. And Zeus has a far more creative punishment in mind than simple lightning bolts.

    On Ogygia, Odysseus has just been told that he is free to leave. But in this version of the story, Hermes delivers more than a message to the king of Ithaca - he delivers a woman. A mortal woman, bound to Odysseus, forced to join him in his desparate quest to return home.

     

    (Or: after the events of 'God Games', Zeus strips Athena of her immortality, and sticks her with that mortal she's apparently become so attached to.)
